Class CustomSystemSerializers

Namespace

Core.SaveLoad

Assembly

Core.dll

ENGINE LAYER - Custom serialization logic for specific systems

Purpose: Some systems (TimeManager, ResourceSystem) have custom serialization needs that don't fit the generic SaveState/LoadState pattern.

This class centralizes that custom logic, keeping SaveManager clean.

Systems with generic SaveState/LoadState:

• ProvinceSystem, ModifierSystem, CountrySystem, UnitSystem (These use SystemSerializer directly, no custom logic needed)

Systems with custom serialization:

• TimeManager (multiple fields, not a single SaveState method)
• ResourceSystem (iterates all resources, special capacity handling)

Methods

LoadResourceSystem(BinaryReader, ResourceSystem)

Load ResourceSystem data Assumes ResourceSystem is already initialized with resource definitions from GAME layer
